Warfarin, Coumadin, developed at the University of Wisconsin. The price here in the United States, about $84 for this package. The price in Canada, only $25. But here is the real kicker. Over in Europe they buy this same drug, as a matter of fact we bought this drug in Munich, Germany, for about $16. About $85 in the United States; $16 in Germany. Here is the other interesting thing. People say, well, they have price controls in Canada. To a certain degree that is true. I am not one that supports price controls and neither, I think, do you.
